I'd edit my posts but I'm not sure what I posted way back then
Me and my 2 sisters on a Honda clonk
me and my sister in what looks like oblivious abject poverty...lol
this might be the dodgy wallpaper one I dunno, such is the scale of wrongness going on in this picture, the wallpaper seems a minor detail.
Wakefield Express pic 1977.....mebbe, I know virtually everyone in the crowd

From my Mother and Fathers wedding with my Gparents, so before I was born
These are slides shot professionally obviously, they're absolutely stunningly beautiful things in the hand.
Wonderful exposure. Look at the detail in Mums Wedding dress.

They are all like that, scans don't do them justice, I've lost detail in the whites just trying to maintain something in the blacks.
They're amazing, massive respect to the pros, they really knew what they were doing with slide back in the day, wish I knew what the film was.

Bryan, me and Derek, Northampton 1977ish. by Raglansurf, on Flickr
Bryan, me and Derek, taken in St Gile's Terrace, Northampton some time 1977ish. Punk obviously hadn't hit Northampton by then, hence the enormous flairsJacket from Burton's I think, (we weren't exactly spoilt for choice in terms of clothes shops in Northampton) and Falmers baggy jeans. Probably taken on a Zenith E, not sure of the film stock as this was scanned from a print but probably something hideous like a Tudor freeby.
Thats an epic pic the mrs came to see what I was laughing at.

I really don't see any cause for hilarity, that's what all the hip kids were wearing in 1976Thats an epic pic the mrs came to see what I was laughing at.

1962 - Criccieth Castle - Oh the days of matching wooly jumpers knitted by Mum for the summer holidays. I'm the one my Dad is not letting go of. Looking at the state of the walls and the big arrow slit next to me I don't blame him. I had a habit of falling in, over or through things. Kodachrome slide by older brother on his Agfa camera.

I'm the one in a horizontal position. Towards the end of June 1967, Exaka Varex IIB, probably Domiplan 50mm lens, self timer, camera resting on desk in the classroom. Hemsworth Grammar School, West Riding of Yorkshire.

Kodachrome 64 probably looking at the rendition of the reds and the detail. Plus K64 was archival quality.They are all like that, scans don't do them justice, I've lost detail in the whites just trying to maintain something in the blacks.

Overzealous parallax compensation? At least we had heads.People in the 60s didn't have feet

Mrs Nicholson....had a fetish for microporus paint...
Did I need to know that? I can remember when Crofton didn't have a doctor's surgery (next village again if you needed to visit) chemist or dentist. It did have two butchers and a dairy. Times change - always for the worse
.Three more from 1967, this time from Wakefield.
First up: Wakefield Museum in Wood Street. The plinth is occupied by a bust of Vespasian. I spent many hours going round the museum, and have several photos of the interior. It's in a new building now of course...
Next, a couple from the chemists in Kirkgate who supplied my film, paper and chemicals. Not to mention my first enlarger. In those days it was Heaton's; now the same building is the Kingfisher Pharmacy. Those who know the area might be more interested in the view of Kirkgate outside which was very different in those days before the mass demolitions.
